What Is Fresh-Guard™?

Fresh-Guard™ is a proprietary blend of microbial inhibitors and propionic acid delivered in a liquid supplement. It helps prevent feed spoilage, mold growth, and heating in total mixed rations (TMR), especially in hot summer months. Designed for high-producing dairy cows, it supports feed freshness, intake, and performance.
